This project was a networking site for professionals and business owners. We needed to set up membership features and other extensive social media tools.

Why Drupal was chosen: 

This site was already based on Drupal and we needed to implement enhancements on top if it.

Describe the project (goals, requirements and outcome): 

This site is a membership websites, where different professionals form close knit groups and then hold meetings to exchange professional expertise and help each other. This project came to us to make some extensive and complex feature addition to the site and also to restructure a few features as those were not performing well and needed rebuild. Our team of experts reviewed the existing architecture of the site in detail and to begin with recommended rebuilding the problematic features and repair the logic where possible. This process went on for a few months and once completes, already made the site much faster and the better architecture brought along much more usability to its members. Next came the task of implementing new features. First and foremost task was creating a detailed membership profile for each user, with various details, like offers, expertise points, videos etc put out is an attractive and readable design. After this another extensive task was building a partnership feature and marketing dashboard. While each user should have been able to send partnership requests to another and establish partnerships, they have a section which they can fill in various questionnaires and create marketing strategies. They can even share these strategies with their established partners, and then these starts to show up in a common space called partnership dashboard. It is similar to the the marketing strategy dashboard, but with only common strategies between the two partners. These features were well planned and executed and the client was extremely happy with the end result and simplicity of use for these complex features. Some other features include tutorials feature, poll feature, a mentoring feature where members can seek help from other members and members who can offer help can track who needs help in a particular domain. The project was a big success and all the site members were extremely happy with the new additions and the overall feedback was very positive.
